Money Monday: of icebergs and interest rates

Given the debut of Titanic 3D last month, you couldn’t have missed that April 15th was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. I was in Chicago that weekend for ASDA council and board meetings. Money was on my mind since April 15th is also Tax Day and I may or may not have finished my returns by then…

My remarks focused on student debt possibly being the iceberg that could sink the Titanic of dental education. I told the AGD audience about the critical shortage of dental student scholarships. This philanthropy famine is evidenced by ADA Survey Center data that only 35% of graduating seniors reporting that they received anyscholarship or grant money to support tuition.
